I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 143 Let me tell you a short story about "Yuan Tiangang"

"Teacher Chen Fan, excuse me."

"you are?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, I'm the owner of the nearby Datang Tea House. My surname is Ye. I've been following you before. However, in the past few days, I saw that you seem to be telling stories outside."

"Hehe, Boss Ye, do you want to invite me to your teahouse to tell stories?"

After the story of Wu Zetian in the third episode was finished, Chen Fan was about to leave.

At this time, a businessman named Ye Peng came over.

"Haha, Teacher Chen Fan is really amazing... Indeed. You see, it's hot outside, and your voice is dry after talking for a long time... Why don't you come to my shop, I'll make you some tea, turn on the air conditioner, and you Just sit in the middle of our teahouse, so that our teahouse will have an additional attraction, and it will be more convenient for you to tell stories, don't you think so?"

"That's a good idea."

Chen Fan nodded.

Most of the storytellers used to be in teahouses or something.

"but……"

Looking at Ye Peng, Chen Fan smiled.

Ye Peng said very kindly: "Mr. Chen Fan, as long as you are willing to come, I can pay you 1 yuan for tea every day."

"1, Boss Ye, you are quite generous."

"Mr. Chen Fan laughed. If I give you less of your status, I will look down on you. Besides, in our business, it is impossible to do business at a loss. With your reputation, not only can you drive our teahouse Business can also increase the reputation of our teahouse. On the one hand, it is to attract business for us, and on the other hand, it is also to advertise us. I will give you 1 yuan a day, and to be honest, it is still profitable."

"Boss Ye, yes, he is a cheerful person."

Chen Fan likes to deal with such straightforward people: "Okay, I can go to your teahouse. However, I don't always have time to go to your teahouse. I mainly like to watch the scenery. The night view of Datang Everbright City is very beautiful. I may spend more time outside, and I will go to various places in Xi'an in the future. If I am really thirsty and tired, I can come to your shop to drink tea and tell stories, what do you think?"

"I listen to Mr. Chen Fan. When will you come and when will we prepare tea? Of course, it's best to say hello to us when you come, so that we can promote you. Of course, on our side It’s better to be prepared.”

"Okay, so, tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, I will come to your teahouse."

"Great, Teacher Chen Fan, I'll go back and prepare right now, welcome to come."

……

"Brothers, do you think Wu Meiniang is really so cruel?"

"What Wu Meiniang, I didn't see that Teacher Chen Fan has changed his name now, it should be called Empress Wu, she is the queen."

"Okay, okay, Empress Wu... But Empress Wu is also a woman, can she do it?"

"Actually, it's hard to say. Compared with men, women are indeed weaker. However, when the power in her hands reaches a certain level, when she wants to control the court, she may be cruel."

"Actually, I have a feeling that there really is Wu Meiniang in history."

"Why, do you have proof?"

"No."

"Say it without you."

"I'm just guessing. The main reason is that what Teacher Chen Fan said is too real. It's so real that he has a reasonable explanation for every historical event. However, I also have some headaches."

"Where is the headache?"

"According to what Teacher Chen Fan said, Wu Meiniang is too arrogant. Even if she wants to control the government, she doesn't need to come up with a second sage coming to court."

"I also think it's better to learn from other empress dowagers, who are behind the scenes, but can also be in charge of the government."

……

The next day.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fan came to Datang Restaurant when he was getting ready.

at this time.

The entire restaurant was already full. Seeing Chen Fan coming, all the customers shouted, "Mr. Chen Fan, you are really here."

"I thought the boss lied to us."

"It's better here, it's not so hot, Teacher Chen Fan, this way please."

Seeing the crowd, Chen Fan also greeted them.

Then he stepped forward and asked, "How do you charge for the tea here?"

The customer said: "A cup of tea is 99 yuan, although it is a bit expensive, but with Mr. Chen Fan here... let alone 99 yuan, I am willing to pay 999 yuan."

"Hahaha……"

This made everyone laugh.

999 yuan is just a joke.

99 yuan is still affordable for everyone.

After all, the friends who come here are all tourists. Now it is 6 pm, and it is time to eat, drink, and take a rest.

"Since everyone is so flattering, I will tell you a few more stories today."

Storytelling in teahouses is indeed better than outside.

One is that the temperature here is just right, neither hot nor cold.

The other is that it is not so noisy here, it is quieter, and there is no need to raise your voice all the time.

Speaking outside in the past few episodes, Chen Fan's voice was a little dry.

At this time, when Chen Fan opened his mouth, no one made a sound, and completely handed it over to Chen Fan.

another.

The tea here is really good.

Chen Fan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "I said before that Yuan Tiangang, the master of the generation, had seen Empress Wu, that is, Wu Meiniang. She said that if she was a woman, she would be very expensive and could become the king of the world. Lord. Looking at it now, his prediction was accurate. In fact, Yuan Tiangang was a well-known fortune teller at that time. Because his ability to read physiognomy was so accurate, he was called into the palace by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty at that time, and served as the eunuch of Huoshan. .”

"Here, let me introduce again. He has an uncle named Yuan Shoucheng. This Yuan Shoucheng's physiognomy is even more powerful than Yuan Tiangang. It is said that he can know yin and yang and judge life and death. There was a fisherman at that time. Every time he went to When fishing, I always go to Yuan Shoucheng to calculate where he can fish the best. After listening to Yuan Shoucheng's advice, the fisherman returns with a full reward every time. But this angered the Dragon King of Jinghe at that time, saying that he was giving advice to ordinary people. As a result, how many descendants of their Jinghe died. For this reason, the Dragon King of Jinghe turned into a white-clothed scholar and came to the streets of Chang'an to settle accounts with Yuan Shoucheng."

"Originally, the Dragon King of Jinghe wanted to tear down Yuan Shoucheng's signboard, but Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor, so he can't mess around. In order to find a reason, the Dragon King of Jinghe asked Yuan Shoucheng to help him calculate a hexagram. He asked, do you know what time tomorrow is?" It’s raining, how much rain will it rain? Yuan Shoucheng made a calculation, and said after the calculation. Tomorrow, clouds will be spread at the hour of the day, and thunder will be sent at the same time. It will rain at noon, and it will rain at the end of the day. A total of three feet, three inches, and forty-eight points of water will be obtained.”

"Jinghe Dragon King laughed and said, if you are right, I will give you 50 taels of gold tomorrow, but if you are wrong, then tomorrow I will tear down your signboard and drive you out of Chang'an City." Yuan Shoucheng nodded ,accepted."

This story is the same as that of Wu Meiniang. It just started to be told, and it immediately attracted everyone's interest.

This is mainly because this story is a novelty, and everyone listens to it very freshly.

The other is very engaging.

Because Chang'an at that time is now Xi'an.

Chang'an Street at that time is now Xi'an Street.

"After returning, the Dragon King of Jinghe was overjoyed and said, this old fortune-teller thinks he is great, but what you don't know is that some of us Dragon Kings did it to spread the clouds and rain, so you can still count? But just after he finished speaking, this At that time, a decree came from the heavenly court, ordering him to rain in Chang'an tomorrow, and the amount of rain he got was exactly the same as Yuan Shoucheng's calculation at that time. The Dragon King of Jinghe was shocked. How could there be such a capable person in this world? But he has a strong temperament , No matter what, he refused to admit defeat. So the next day, Jinghe Dragon King secretly deducted the rain points and changed the time of the rain."

"After the rain was spread, the Dragon King of Jinghe took human form again, came to Yuan Shoucheng's booth, and said. You said that the clouds were clouded at the hour of the day, but now they are clouded at the time of the day. You said the thunder was at the time of the day, but now it was at noon. You said it was at the time of noon. It’s raining, but it’s not raining now. You said it’s raining enough before the time, and you get three feet, three inches, and 48 points, but now it’s raining at the right time, and you get three feet, and [-] points. This is obviously an hour lost , the rain was three inches less. After speaking, the Dragon King of Jinghe smashed Yuan Shoucheng's stall to pieces, and ordered Yuan Shoucheng to get out of Chang'an immediately."

"But Yuan Shoucheng looked there quietly, neither stopping nor making trouble. Instead, he said with a smile, it's not a big deal if you smashed my business, but it's a big deal if you violated the rules of heaven. I know you, you are not some white-clothed scholar , You are the Dragon King of Jinghe River. You have violated the rules of heaven by changing the time and size of the rain without permission, and you will probably be stabbed tomorrow. Only then did the Dragon King of Jinghe panic and knelt down to worship Yuan Shoucheng and asked him how to save him. Yuan Shoucheng said, "It's useless for you to beg me. Tomorrow you will be executed by Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If you go to the Tang king to ask for favors at this time, you may have a way out."

The story is more exciting.

Everyone listened carefully to the story Chen Fan told without blinking their eyes.

of course.

Although Chen Fan was telling stories in the teahouse, Chen Fan also turned on the live broadcast.

He couldn't just because he came to the teahouse, some other netizens would have no stories to listen to.

A group of netizens also did not post a word at the moment.

When have they heard such a vivid story...it feels so exciting like listening to a book from heaven.

Chen Fan continued: "After thanking Yuan Shoucheng, the Dragon King of Jinghe sneaked into the palace on the same day, until Zishi, after Tang Wang Li Shimin fell asleep. The Dragon King of Jinghe sneaked into the dream of King Tang and shouted loudly, Your Majesty, save me. Li Shimin was shocked and asked, who are you. The Dragon King of Jinghe said, I am the Dragon King of Jinghe, Your Majesty is the real dragon, and my minister is the Yelong. I will be punished by your majesty's prime minister, Wei Zheng, for violating the rules of heaven. That's why I came here to ask His Majesty for help. King Tang saw that the Dragon King had been begging him, so he agreed."

"The next day, Tang Wang woke up from his sleep, thinking about yesterday's dream. So he thought, tomorrow I just need to call Wei Zheng to my side and not let him leave, then I can save the Dragon King. Immediately, I will retreat that day. Afterwards, the King of Tang called Wei Zheng to his side and chatted with him about his parents. When the chat reached Sishi, he saw that Wei Zheng was a little restless. The King of Tang sent someone to bring up the chessboard again, and wanted to play against Wei Zheng. Chess. King Tang intentionally delays time, and lowers his head to think from time to time. But when King Tang makes another move, he finds that Wei Zheng has fallen asleep. At this time, King Tang smiled and did not disturb Wei Zheng. However, when noon passed, at this time A dragon's head suddenly fell to the feet of King Tang. The dragon's head kept staring at King Tang with its eyes open. At this time, Wei Zheng also woke up in time. Then he knelt down and said, "I deserve death for my crimes. Just now, I gave Jinghe Dragon King to him in his sleep." cut..."

The story is over.

Countless flowers and small gifts were instantly displayed throughout the live broadcast room.

At the same time.

The whole teahouse stood up abruptly and applauded loudly.

"What a dream to kill the Dragon King."

"King Tang, Wei Zheng, Chang'an...you speak so well."

"Teacher Chen Fan, I can't wait to give you a reward on the spot."

Don't say it yet.

There were indeed a group of tea drinkers who got up to tip Chen Fan.

"Mr. Chen Fan, a small reward is not a respect."

"This is not good."

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Chen Fan, and the gentlemen who come to the book in ancient times also need to be rewarded."

"That……"

Chen Fan hesitated.

Although he asked everyone to brush small gifts from time to time during the live broadcast.

But in fact, it doesn’t feel like saying these things during the live broadcast.

Swipe small gifts are some data, it does not seem to be money.

But it was the first time for Chen Fan to really give a reward in RMB.

This made Chen Fan not good at answering, nor good at not answering.

I'm a little embarrassed.

Not answering...that's totally out of my character.

but.

Ye Peng on the other side is a clever man.

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, he quickly ordered the staff to put it away for Chen Fan.

Chen Fan secretly sighed, this Boss Ye is really clever.
